The Last American Manby Elizabeth Gilbert, Bloomsbury, $24.99.
She inspired millions of women withEat Pray LoveandCommitted.
How fascinating that Elizabeth Gilbert should have tackled men first, or rather manhood, through the story of a modern-day frontiersman called Eustace Conway, who could throw a knife with pinpoint accuracy at seven, and by 17 was living alone on remote mountain wearing the skins of animals he’d hunted. And eaten. Like Daniel Boone crossed with Superman. You’d scarcely believe such a man could thrive in the 21st century, but the author met him in the early ’90s when she was working as a Wyoming cowgirl and, 10 years later, wrote this warm and funny book.
